Today, you are not an Astros fan.
Today, you are a Brewers fan.
Yes, you've been rooting for the Brewers for a couple days, but today is different. Today, your duty is to root for the Brewers as though you were born and raised in Milwaukee. You grew up with Mollie and Yount and Higuera. These were your heroes.
Today, your ace Ben Sheets is starting. Nevermind that the Cardinals own the guy (4-13 against the Cards lifetime if I'm remembering correctly); that matters not, today.
Today, only one thing matters. That your beloved Brewers win just one game.
Every Brewer fan is your brother.
Got some yellow and blue clothing? Perhaps the old baseball-glove-and-ball Brewers logo hat you got at a AA game in 1986? Put it on. Today, it is yours.
I don't care if your alma mater is playing the Raiders, the Aggies, or the mighty mighty Bearkats. Today, you have only one team.
Now GO, my friend.
I'll meet you back here after the Brewers/Cardinals game at about 3:30pm Central to discuss your next mission.
